Mil2major is an airline newbie and it shows. He was hired post merger and wants to talk down about VX even though he doesn’t have a dog in the fight. Just raise the gear, shut up, and learn from the guys(both sides) who’ve been doing this for a while.

It's a 5th best horse Guy....welcome aboard! Yes Humble........It's easy to say....hard to do if some people can't see what's going on. Yes work WITH us as eqauls....but understand what has/will transpire. That's all. I've already heard of some interactions on the line which leaves something to be desired.

nice! glad people fight for their own. :rolleyes: Got any other buses you want to throw me under?

This right here! One Alaska guy makes a point and bam!!!........VX pilots gang up on him and give him a rash of turd instead of a civilized dialogue. Inferiority complex anyone?

You do beat an awfully big drum for someone barely of probation at your first airline.

What I see is a lot of talking down to the VX guys. Basically acting like they have no right to have any expectations and they should shut up and be happy with the their "winning lottery ticket."

I see that this thread has gotten nastier.:eek: Let’s not get your panties in a wad about who’s been here the longest. I fly with FOs who’ve been here longer than VX has been around. Oh wait, that’s most of us Alaskan boys ‘n girls. Swingline job or DOH and y’all still got a mega windfall.

I’m guilty I know. I’m having a little fun with y’all but kidding aside, I mean what I say. Look at it from an objective view. Can you honestly say that y’all are truly worse off at Alaskan vs VX, emotions aside? That’s all. I get it. The beat down gets old.

No I don't believe VX is worse off. I hope that in the long run the merger benefits us all. I just want to see mutual respect. We're all just pawns in this game and I wouldn't be surprised if there is another merger in our near future.

Yes, with the exception of pay. How much is quality of life worth? To me a lot more than pay, and we are taking a massive qol hit.
